Great Pretenders

I don't know about others but I confess I am guilty of stereotyping how individuals should 'look' if they hold certain positions or jobs.  I often times believe some folks should hold other positions based on looks, voice or behavior.

Let me offer some examples: When I first heard St. Louis Baseball broadcaster, Harry Caray's voice, I pictured him to 'look' much differently than he did. Had I seen him on the street not knowing who he was, I would guess him to be a bookkeeper. Another is Babe Ruth. If I had not known in advance about Ruth's prolific baseball abilities but just saw him on a Florida beach, I'd guess he was a bar tender back in Brooklyn. Okay, you get my drift, eh?

Here's others...

Lindsey Graham (politician)...Macy's shoe department sales clerk.
J. B. Pritzker (Governor)...Chicago Mass Transit bus driver.
Pat Sajak (T.V. Game Host)...singer with The Beach Boys.
Jim Bakker (religious poser)...towel boy at Trump's Mar-a-Lago Club
Oprah (Entertainer/ Entrepreneur)...Waffle House waitress.
Donald J. Trump (Self-promoting Blowhard)...Not a War Hero nor Genius but a 'Cowardly Wimp.'
Jimmy Swaggart (T. V. Preacher Hawkster)...television pitch-man for Cialis.
Mike Pence (politician)...poster boy for Paul Mitchell Men's hair gel products.
William Barr (U.S. Attorney General/Stooge)...Meat Butcher @ Kingshighway Grocery Store.
Rachel Maddow (Television news Pundit)...Physical Education Teacher St. Charles West High School
Wolf Blitzer (Television News Anchor)...movie double for Lon Chaney in the flick, 'Wolfman.'
Harry S. Truman (3rd Best President in U. S. A. History)...a 1953 Pharmacist.
Rudy Giuliani (attorney for Donald Trump)...psychopathic stalker.
